To supplement afternoon presentations, we have arranged for all bioinformatics speakers to take part in a "break-out" session of concurrent "demonstration labs" between 3:30-5:00. These labs will take part in smaller seminar rooms, and will enable attendees to gain an in-depth look at software, web apps, and cloud services via live demonstration.
